The Livy Method Podcast

If you feel guilty when you're not busy, you're far from alone. Odette flies solo for this midweek conversation and starts with how busyness has quietly become a measure of self-worth, and doing less can feel like not doing enough. With a surprise visit from Gina, she shares the feeling with some practical advice about how you can support the new version of yourself by having and doing less. "Just because I can doesn't mean I should."This podcast aligns with Day 17 of our Fall Maintenance Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Maintenance and Mindfulness Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulness Hosted on Acast.

Why does change feel hardest right after you've committed to it? Breathwork trainer and transformation coach Meg Pearson has guided thousands of people through major life changes. She joins Gina Livy to walk through her seven-stage pivot cycle: the niggle, the resistance, the leap, and "the void."

Losing weight often people try everything: every supplement, every workout, every routine. Keeping it off is different. Gina Livy and Odette make the case that what comes next is getting picky about what actually works for you.In this Mindset Monday conversation, they look at the habits people keep out of "should" rather than results. That includes supplements you never re-evaluated, workouts that drain you, the 10-step bedtime routine and the guilt of a weekend that went fine anyway. Odette explains how narrowing down to a few habits that really help changed her year. Gina looks at why the standard advice about exercise can stop people from starting at all.Maintaining your success isn't always about doing, it can be about knowing what isn't worth doing anymore.

Consistency isn't perfection. Sometimes it's two glasses of water on a chaotic day.In this live session, Gina Livy explains why you don't need someone to hold you accountable, why all-or-nothing people fall off as hard as they go in, and how non-negotiables can keep you going when motivation doesn't. She also takes on plateaus, weight loss while sick, hormone shifts, and whether lemon water really does anything.The program stays the same.

Words matter. If "what's wrong with me?" is your first thought when the scale goes up or a workout gets missed, this episode is for you. Gina Livy and Odette dig into how the words you use on yourself shape your mindset, and how small changes in wording can shift everything."I skipped my workout" becomes "I chose not to today." "I gained weight" becomes "My scale is up. Why?" "What's wrong with me?" becomes "What's going on with me?" It's the same moment with a completely different story, and the new version leads to curiosity instead of panic.This podcast aligns with Day 10 of our Fall Maintenance Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Maintenance and Mindfulness Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulness Hosted on Acast.

Personal trainer Andrew Blakey specializes in resistance training for adults over 40. His first rule for beginners might surprise you: start small. Gina and Andrew talk about why getting back into exercise feels so hard, why so many people quit after the first sore week, and how the "go hard or go home" fitness culture of the '80s and '90s still shapes what we think a good workout looks like. They also cover joint-friendly strength training, why technique matters more than intensity, and why you work around pain, not through it. Andrew's message for anyone who has struggled before: you're not broken. You just started with a workout that wasn't built for where you are.Where to Find Andrew:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamandrewblakey/Website: https://blakeybreakthrough.com/ This podcast aligns with Day 10 of our Fall Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Livy Method Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodThere is still time to join the Fall Program and there are two ways to join you can purchase the Fall Session for $99, or become a member for $20/month for year-round support, access to every session, Livy AI, member perks and more.

Jenn Harper was newly sober and selling seafood when she woke from a dream that became Cheekbone Beauty, now stocked at Sephora. In this conversation with Gina Livy, she names the belief that nearly cost her the business: that she was supposed to figure it out on her own.Jenn and Gina get into the old stories that block change, what a year of everything-failing actually teaches you, the difference between regret and shame, and the morning routine that keeps Jenn steady.

Gina Livy and Odette open week one of maintenance with a claim that sounds backwards: the food is the easy part. Knowing what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat is learnable. What's harder is everything sitting underneath it; the fear of gaining it back, the old habits that feel comforting because they're familiar, and the quiet belief that once you hit your number, the work is finished."My diet is over" is the thought that undoes years of progress, this is how fear of regain can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.This podcast aligns with Day 8 of our Fall Maintenance Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Maintenance and Mindfulness Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulness Hosted on Acast.

The scale is up two pounds after an almost perfect day. Most people read that as failure. Gina Livy reads it as a sign the weight is about to drop.Gina breaks down what the scale is actually measuring and why the number climbs right before fat is released. She covers the three signals that weight is on its way down, why weighing once a week tells you almost nothing while weighing daily tells you a lot, and why it's far harder than you think to turn the food you're eating into real fat.

You wanted this for so long. So why does getting here feel a little flat? Clinical psychologist and sleep expert Dr. Beverley David joins Odette to explain why reaching your goal weight can bring a letdown instead of a lift, and why that's a normal human response, not a sign you're failing. She breaks down how anticipation and dopamine carry us through big changes, how hedonic adaptation makes even major wins feel ordinary fast, and why calm can feel strange if you grew up watching the people around you go on and off diets. She also shares her three-step approach for this stage and why your next goal may have nothing to do with the scale.Where to Find Dr. Beverley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdrbeverley/Website: https://www.yourpsychologycentre.ca/This podcast aligns with Day 4 of our Fall Maintenance Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Maintenance and Mindfulness Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulness Hosted on Acast.

You did the hard part. The weight is off. So why does keeping it off still feel like work?Welcome to the first Midweek Motivation of the season! Gina Livy and Odette talk openly about the slow, uninspired start that can follow weight loss, and why weight maintenance is less about food and more about knowing yourself. They get into where carbs like bread, pasta and rice fit once you're no longer trying to lose, and why an all-or-nothing mindset about them causes more trouble than the foods do.

Most of us don't need more recipes. We need a plan that fits the life we're actually living.Gina sits down with Eimear Brazil to talk about cooking from scratch without the overwhelm. Eimear is a trained chef from Waterford, Ireland, and the creator of The Kitchen Shift. She's worked as a head chef, an operations chef and a food stylist, and she shares the simple systems she uses at home to eat well, waste less and spend less on groceries.

Everyone is telling you to eat more protein. Almost nobody is telling you how much you actually need or why the number you keep reading online was never written for your body.Gina Livy breaks down the protein conversation that's taken over midlife weight loss: where the 20-to-30-gram rule really came from, what protein has to do with protecting muscle through perimenopause and menopause, why the GLP-1 boom changed the whole conversation, and why chewing your food beats drinking it.

Most people treat goal weight like a finish line. Gina Livy and Odette explain why it's actually the start of a different job, and why so many people regain. They break down the three reasons weight comes back and why the "why" that got you through weight loss isn't the same as what helps you to maintain.Welcome to Day 1 of our Fall Maintenance and Mindfulness Group!This podcast aligns with Day 1 of our Fall Maintenance Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Maintenance and Mindfulness Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulness Hosted on Acast.

Eating less and exercising more works. That's the problem.You force your body to burn fat because there isn't enough fuel coming in and in doing that, you teach it that it needed the fat in the first place. Then it comes back, and somewhere along the way you decided that was a discipline problem.Welcome to the first live of the Fall! Today Gina Livy breaks down the difference between weight loss and fat loss, why calorie math falls apart for women in perimenopause and menopause, and the three reasons weight comes back after you've lost it. She also gets into where GLP-1 medications genuinely help, where they don't, and why food noise and appetite are only part of the picture.This podcast aligns with Day 1 of our Fall Program, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Livy Method Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodThere is still time to join the Fall Program and there are two ways to join you can purchase the Fall Session for $99, or become a member for $20/month for year-round support, access to every session, Livy AI, member perks and more.

You can eat in a calorie deficit and still not lose weight. If your sleep is wrecked, your stress has been chronic for years and you've quietly lost muscle, the deficit isn't fixing what's underneath it all. Gina Livy brings five experts to the table to cut through the noise on hormones, sleep, stress and weight loss: Dr. Olinca Trejo on why insulin resistance is a symptom and not a diagnosis, Dr. Paul Hrkal on rebuilding trust with a body you've stopped believing in, clinical psychologist Dr. Beverley David on replacing judgment with curiosity, sleep and stress educator Alanna McGinn on why rest and sleep are not the same thing, and learning strategist Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer on the smallest possible first step.Looking to make change this Fall, start here.

Food is not the enemy. Baking is not the enemy. Our relationship with food is usually the problem.Colin Asuncion, Great Canadian Baking Show finalist and judge on the new Halloween Bakeshop, joins Gina for an honest conversation about baking without the guilt. His advice for anyone who loves to bake but doesn't want to eat the whole tray: make the batch, have one, give the rest away. They also cover the ingredient swaps that genuinely work and the ones that ruin a bake, why almond-flour desserts beat most gluten-free flour substitutes, how to freeze baked goods so they actually keep and the pantry staples that let you make almost anything.Halloween Bake Shop premieres September 13 on Flavor Network and Stack TV.Where to find Colin: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/colinasuncionTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@colinasuncionThis podcast aligns with Sep 8th of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring20 Hosted on Acast.

You keep meaning to deal with it. The closet, the freezer, the room you close the door on. And you keep not doing it, then wondering what's wrong with you.Professional organizer and certified KonMari consultant Effy Terry joins Gina to talk about why nothing is wrong with you, why clutter in midlife is really just catch-up, and why the clothes in the back of your closet are keeping you stuck at a size and a stage you've already left. They get into aspirational buying, sunken cost, body doubling, sharing a home with someone whose system isn't yours, and why an organized pantry has more to do with weight loss after 40 than anyone tells you.One thing you can change today: open one drawer and get rid of the past versions of yourself.Because your home should be the place you recover in, not the place you recover from.Where to Find Effy:Website: https://organizethat.ca/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/organizethatwitheffyterry/Effy appears on the Netflix series, Hoarders (Season 15, Episodes 9 & 11)This podcast aligns with Sep 2nd of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring20 Hosted on Acast.

Food is one of the last places culture still lives. It's how your family said I love you, how traditions crossed oceans, how a recipe outlived the person who wrote it down. Gina sits down with Capri Cafaro, radio host, TV personality, creator of the Emmy-nominated PBS series America the Bountiful and author of United We Eat, who has spent years travelling North America collecting the stories behind what people grow, make and pass down. Why food is the strongest keeper of cultural memory we have. What Indigenous food sovereignty teaches everyone about eating well. Why knowing who grew your food changes how you eat it. And what gets lost when a meal becomes a calorie count instead of a story. Plus the reason slowing down at the table might matter more than anything on it.Where to Find Capri and her new show Post Cards Across Canada: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BountifulTellsStoriesWebsite: https://www.capriscafaro.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/capriscafaro/Bountiful Media: https://bountifulmediabrands.comThis podcast aligns with Sep 1st of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring20 Hosted on Acast.

If the weight crept back on this summer, nothing is broken, your routine changed, and your body followed.Gina unpacks why weight regain after 40 has less to do with willpower than with the things that quietly shifted: longer days, later dinners, less water, less sleep and old habits that never fully left. She gets into set point range and why your weight was always meant to move within a 5–10 pound window, why "A-type" people crush weight loss and then struggle in maintenance, and what food noise actually is, including what GLP-1 medications do to it and what they still can't do for you.This podcast aligns with Aug 31st of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring20 Hosted on Acast.

You look like you have it all together. Inside, you're wondering how much longer you can keep this up.Mental health professional, award-winning speaker and author Calissa Ngozi joins Gina to talk about burnout in midlife and why exhaustion became a badge of honour, why rest comes wrapped in guilt, and why so many women only recognize burnout in everyone else.One thing you can change today: give yourself permission to pause.Because you can't take care of anyone else if you're not taking care of yourself.Where to Find Calissa:Website: https://www.calissangozi.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/calissangozi/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/calissa.ngoziLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/calissangozi Her book, The Oxygen Mask Mindset is available on Amazon.This podcast aligns with Aug 27th of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring20 Hosted on Acast.

From your first period to well past menopause, it's the same set of ovaries calling the shots, and almost no one ever explained what they're actually doing.Gina sits down with Dr. Sony Sierra, one of Canada's leading fertility specialists, for the conversation you can't get in a ten-minute appointment. Why "just lose weight" was never the real answer. What twenty years of losing and regaining does to your hormones. Why the way you lose weight matters more than the number. And why the hardest part of menopause is that nobody warned you. They also talk the PCOS name change, GLP-1s and fertility, and what the research says about plastics.Where To Find Dr. Sony:Websites:EVOLVE Egg Freezing Clinic: https://evolveeggfreeze.com/TRIO Fertility: https://triofertility.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsonysierraThis podcast aligns with Aug 26th of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever heard your own voice climb an octave mid-sentence and wondered who that was? Voice coach, musician and author Lucy Walsh joins Gina to explain why you sound different depending on who's in the room and why it's a survival tactic you learned a long time ago. They get into hiding in plain sight, why overcompensating to fill an awkward silence is a way of abandoning yourself, what comes up when you finally stop shallow breathing and drop into your body, and why "releasing" the old versions of you doesn't work.Gina opens solo on a morning where nothing went to plan: a printer that quit, a live stream that wouldn't start, and a missing guest, yet it becomes a do not miss conversation about how to stop hiding from yourself.Where to find Lucy Walsh:Website: https://www.lucywalsh.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelucywalshPodcast: The Lucy Walsh PodcastYou'll find Lucy's book, Remember Me as Human on Amazon.This podcast aligns with Aug 25th of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.

You're doing all the things, the water, the greens, the protein, the walking, the sleep, and the scale hasn't moved in months. Gina opens with a message from a woman who's been stuck in the same five-pound range since February and asks the question most women in midlife are afraid to say out loud: what if something is wrong with me?The answer: nothing is wrong with you. The plan that worked two years ago isn't the plan your body needs today. She unpacks why weight loss stalls in perimenopause and menopause, how hormones, sleep and stress quietly change the equation, when it's time to get your bloodwork done, and why eating less and less is almost always the wrong move.This podcast aligns with Aug 24th of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.

Gina sits down with Livy Community member Megan Mapley for an open conversation about sustainable weight loss, mindset, emotional eating and what it really takes to create lasting change. After losing 53 pounds, regaining weight when life got busy and finding her way forward again, Megan shares why she stopped chasing the all-or-nothing approach and started building habits she could actually live with. They talk about food noise, social media, movement, body image, GLP-1 weight loss medications and the difference between needing a reset and believing you have to start over. It's a relatable reminder that weight loss isn't about perfection or quick fixes. It's about learning what works for your body, trusting yourself and continuing to make progress through every season of life.Where to Find Megan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/endlessprogressproject/This podcast aligns with Aug 19th of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.

Fresh off a family vacation in Paris, Tuscany and Rome, Gina Livy gets real about what it actually means to get Back On Track after summer travel, indulgences and time away from routine. She shares why sustainable weight loss and maintenance are about so much more than food, exploring hydration, mindful eating, sleep, stress, movement, nervous system regulation and the everyday factors that affect how the body feels and responds. Gina also reframes “mindless” summer eating, talks through normal weight fluctuations and set point range, and reminds the Livy Community that enjoying life and staying focused on their goals don't have to be at odds.

Clinical psychologist Dr. Beverley David joins Odette to explain the actual psychology behind the end-of-summer slump and what to do about it.

You've been told consistency means doing the exact same thing every single day, hit your water, never miss a walk, keep the streak alive. So the moment life happens (a vacation, a birthday, the flu), it feels like you blew it and have to start over. Kim and Odette make the case that real consistency isn't a streak at all. It's the bigger picture: a few good choices, a blip that doesn't snowball, and the ability to make up for an off day instead of writing off the whole week.

You can lose the weight and still feel like a stranger in your own body. Identity-led transformation coach Hina Khan joins Gina Livy to explain why so many women regain weight even after doing everything right. It's not from a lack of discipline, but because their self-image never caught up to the change. They get into the idea of a mental "set point," why you unconsciously undo your own progress to feel normal again, the trap of "when-then" living (I'll be happy when I hit the goal), and why imposter syndrome isn't a stop sign, it's a signal to expand your capacity, not shrink your goals.Hina Khan is the author of A Return to You and host of The Possibilities with Hina Khan podcast.Where to Find Hina:Website: https://hinakhan.caInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachwithhinaYou'll find Hina's book, A Return to YOU, here: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1965653278 This podcast aligns with Day one of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.

What if the hardest job of midlife isn't the one you planned for? This week, Gina is joined in The Summer Club by Teri Hart, host of the caregiving podcast The Heart of It All. After walking her own dad through vascular dementia and helping her mom navigate widowhood, Teri turned 30 years of broadcasting experience into a resource for the rest of us. She and Gina get real about the conversations we avoid (wills, power of attorney, and the two bank accounts you didn't know your dad had), why boundaries make you a better caregiver, and how to build your own village before you're in crisis. They dig into caregiver guilt and the grief that starts before anyone's gone.Where to Find Teri:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teriharthttps://www.instagram.com/thehartofitallpod/Podcast: The Hart Of It AllWebsite: thehartofitall.comThis podcast aligns with Day one of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.

At midlife, a lot of us quietly decide the big dreams are behind us. Janette Ewen didn't get the memo. In the first episode of Summer Club, the designer and lifestyle expert (25 years on CTV, NBC, and Canadian daytime TV) talks about becoming the "queen of the pivot": losing her business in the pandemic, finding boxing and racing track in her midlife, and training toward a Masters triple jump because she can. She and Gina get into why "you're allowed to change" is the whole point, how to hold onto one healthy habit when the others slip, and why the best advice for reinventing yourself is to just go and do it. Hopeful, funny, and a little defiant.

Summer Club has officially begun! In this kickoff episode, Gina Livy gets into why you don't have to wait until goal weight to wear the bathing suit, be in the photos, or actually enjoy your life. She breaks down the science of happiness, why we all have a baseline, why the lottery won't fix it, and how presence and real connection can raise it (plus the app that finally broke her scrolling habit). She also shares the story behind the 91-day program, why the plan was never meant to be followed forever, and how to use summer as the ultimate test of everything you've learned.This podcast aligns with Day one of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.

What if gaining weight back isn't failure, but part of the process? In the final live of the season, Gina Livy, Kim, and Odette get honest about the thing the diet industry won't say out loud. People regain weight, and what matters is having the tools and self-awareness to move forward without starting over every time. They share the story of a member who gained back 30 pounds through a brutal year and just hit her goal again, dig into why goal weight was never really a number, and explain why community might be the most underrated weight loss tool there is.This episode aligns with Day 87 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

What do a clinical psychologist, a naturopathic doctor, and a learning strategist do when they're in a funk? In Gina Livy's candid BOD Squad conversation, Dr. Beverley David, Dr. Olinca Trejo, and Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer open up about their own struggles with depression, anxiety, and self-doubt, and the anchors that pull them back. Gina steers the panel into the conversation nobody's having: the fear of getting older. From caring for aging parents to the shift from lifespan to health span, they unpack why aging is a privilege worth showing up for. They talk about how confidence is a skill you build brick by brick, not a trait you're born with, and why the goal was never to stop caring, but to stop apologizing.This episode aligns with Day 86 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

In this Mindset Monday conversation, Gina and Odette reflect on what it really takes to create lasting change beyond weight loss. Inspired by a powerful discussion with Kathleen Cameron, they explore how shifting perspective, embracing healthy habits as acts of self-care, and becoming more intentional can reshape the way people think about food, movement, and themselves. They also share why maintenance is about more than holding onto results, touching on identity, resilience, self-awareness, and the importance of staying connected to a supportive community while building a life that feels good long after the scale stops being the focus.This episode aligns with day 85 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

Are you willing to be bad at something before you get good at it? In this Midweek Motivation, Gina Livy and Odette get into the fear that quietly runs the show when the structure starts to loosen: fear of failing, fear of succeeding, and the "just in case" jeans still hanging in your closet. They break down why personalizing the plan isn't going rogue, how to actually tell the difference between hungry, could eat and should eat, the one meal you can skip without worrying about going too long and why nuts won't give you that hot-day energy boost but watermelon will.This episode aligns with day 80 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

What if the thing derailing you isn't willpower? What if it's a nervous system stuck in protection mode? Gina Livy, Odette, and Kim open up about grief, burnout, and the surprising ways your body remembers what your brain moves past. From there, they get practical about this week's tweak: how to personalize the plan with intention instead of drifting into doing your own thing, why letting go of structure feels unsafe (and why that's the point), and Kim's honest question to ask yourself before every choice: is this what I need, or am I looking for a loophole?This episode aligns with Day 80 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

You lost the weight, so why are you still cinching a belt around jeans two sizes too big? Gina Livy sits down with Tanya Gelsomino, retail veteran, Livy Method member, and the community's resident fashionista, to talk about the part of weight loss nobody prepares you for: getting dressed. Tanya shares why hanging onto your "before" clothes is really about fear, why sizing down in the same styles rarely works and her "same, similar, different" fitting room method for rediscovering what looks good on your changing body. Listen to learn about dressing with intention instead of waiting for the finish line, how a $15 scarf can shift your whole energy, and why feeling good in your clothes today might be what actually carries you to your goal.This episode aligns with Day 79 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

What if the thing keeping you stuck is the fear of gaining it back? Gina Livy is flying solo this Mindset Monday, digging into why so many people who've done the work still don't trust themselves, and the three real reasons weight comes back. She takes on a member question about getting triggered at Sunday family dinners, unpacking old food associations, eating to keep the peace, and how to set a new tone at the table without a confrontation.This episode aligns with day 78 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

What if the goal was never to follow a plan forever, but to not need one? In this episode, Gina Livy breaks down the shift most diets never teach: how to actually know when to eat, what to eat, and how much, by checking in with your body instead of your head. She gets into why skipping a meal isn't the win you think it is, how the summer heat has been messing with your scale (and why it's secretly working in your favour), and what to do when your old habit of going all day without eating creeps back in. Plus: a member hits 50 pounds down after three years of showing up, and Gina gets real about why losing a large amount of weight in a healthy way is far more possible than the industry wants you to believe.This episode aligns with Day 78 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

It's not you, it's the heat. In this episode celebrating Canada Day, Gina Livy explains why hot weather and air conditioning can spike your scale even when your weight is actually trending down, and what to do about it (hint: it involves salt and fruit, not less water). From there she goes deep on set point, the real reason "goal weight" isn't a fixed number, why your body fights to keep you in a range, and how releasing fat is a different process than burning it. She also answers questions on true hunger versus habit hunger and how to navigate a summer full of celebrations without losing your footing.This episode aligns with Day 73 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

Dr. Sean Rice is back, and this time he's talking skin. As a plastic surgeon and one of Canada's leading voices in cosmetic medicine, Dr. Sean breaks down what's actually happening to your skin when you lose weight and why waiting until after you hit your goal could mean playing catch-up on damage that was totally preventable. He gets into the GLP-1 and crepey skin connection most doctors aren't talking about, the real difference between fillers and biostimulants (and why it matters for Ozempic face), what Korean skincare is actually worth buying, and the emerging treatments that could change everything. From exosomes for hair growth to enzymes that are rewriting the cellulite conversation, this one has it all. Plus: red light therapy, snail mucin, salmon sperm cream, and an honest breakdown of what's worth your money and what isn't.Where to Find Dr. Sean Rice:Website: https://www.doctorseanrice.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorseanrice/This episode aligns with Day 72 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

What if the reason you feel off today has nothing to do with the food? Odette and Kim are co-hosting this week and they're getting into what it really means to listen to your body when life gets busy, seasonal, and a little loose around the edges.Canada Day is coming, the patios are open, and the structure that felt solid in the spring is getting tested. This conversation covers the difference between "what is wrong with me?" and "what is going on with me?", a simple reframe that changes everything. They unpack how to use Back on Track with intention, not as the excuse it can quietly become. And they get into the science of community: why surrounding yourself with people who get it actually makes your body feel better.This episode aligns with day 71 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

Gina's traveling, so program managers Kim and Odette are taking the wheel and came prepared. They get into one of the most misunderstood tools in the Livy Method: Back on Track. It's not a free pass. It's not a punishment. And it's definitely not something you trigger every Monday after a weekend of snacks. It's a feeling and knowing the difference changes everything. Kim and Odette break down what Back on Track actually is, when to use it (and when not to), why the scale is the wrong signal to follow, and how this tool shifts when you move into maintenance. They also get into the No Snack Challenge debrief, how to navigate Canada Day and the 4th of July without derailing your progress, and why the end of the program isn't the end of your journey.This episode aligns with Day 71 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

What if the hardest part of getting healthy isn't the eating? What if it's learning to stop needing a plan to tell you what to do?To get you motivated today, Gina Livy gets practical about something most wellness content skips: the transition from following rules to actually trusting your body. She breaks down the science behind meal timing and why smaller, frequent meals were never meant to be a forever thing.

And she gets deeply personal story about what reframed everything she understands about self-awareness and how we show up in our own lives.This episode aligns with day 66 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

In this episode, Gina Livy and Kim break down one of the most misunderstood shifts in sustainable weight loss: how to eat more protein and healthy fat without eating more food. They tackle the snack confusion head-on with what to combine, what to swap and why portion restructuring (not restriction) is what actually drives results. Plus: why the protein obsession you're seeing on social media doesn't apply when you're eating like this, how conditioned hunger is quietly running your day, and what's coming next for eating in tune with your body.If you've ever stared at your plate wondering if you're doing it right, this one can help.This episode aligns with Day 66 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.
